Here is a link - http://penw.ws/JKLAtC - which shows a
forum post where this person is advertising a bunch of domain names for sale. That's cyber-squatting.

As a member opines: "Some have said they would consider linking to the resurrected version of Peter's site from their own sites. If this chap has a record of selling on domain names that attract visitor hits, then these links might one day ending up pointing to a site with very different content."

At work I have experienced issues with registered domain names lapsing because the 'owner' or rather the Finance Dept. forgot to renew the subscriptions. They were then purchased by others and pointed towards hardcore-porn sites. And it is also known that visiting such porn sites can and frequently does result in rogue web pages downloading viruses onto the said computers.

Please tell me in which way those domain names are cybersquatting. You are way off the discussion.

Selling domains is cybersquatting? Laughable.
